Private Everglades Airboat Tours
No strangers, no crowded assembly line — just your people, your captain and the wide-open River of Grass. Book a private Aces airboat and the whole boat is yours: choose your time, set your pace and get an up-close, front-row view of wild alligators the whole ride. Perfect for couples, proposals, photographers and anyone who wants the Everglades all to themselves.
“Text or call me and I’ll get you out on the water — I can’t wait to see you out in the swamp!”— Captain Billy, owner & native Everglades guide
The Everglades, Just for Your Group
A private airboat tour with Aces is exactly what it sounds like: you reserve the entire boat, and it is only your group out on the water. No sharing a bench with strangers, no waiting on someone else's schedule, no rushing to keep up with a packed tour. Just you, your captain and the endless sawgrass, moving at whatever pace feels right for your day.
Our tours are already small and personal — that is the Aces difference — but a private charter takes it further. You pick the time, you set the mood, and your native Everglades captain builds the ride around you. Want to slow down for photos, linger near a big gator, or open the throttle and carve through the marsh? It is your boat, so it is your call. That freedom is why couples, families and photographers choose private again and again.
- No strangers on board — the whole airboat belongs to your group and nobody else.
- Your time, your pace — sunrise, midday or golden hour, fast or slow, it is all up to you.
- Front-row seats for everyone — on our boats there is no bad seat and no back row.

Exclusivity, Romance and Room to Breathe
Guests from Fort Lauderdale, Parkland and Boca Raton book private for the moments that deserve more than a shared bench. Here is what a private airboat charter gives you.
Total Exclusivity
The boat is yours alone — no strangers, no crowd. Talk, laugh and take your time without a full boat of other guests around you.
Romantic & VIP
Anniversaries, date nights and proposals feel effortless when it is just the two of you, your captain and a golden Everglades sky.
Photographer's Dream
Ask the captain to hold at the perfect spot, chase the light and work the reflections. A private boat is a private photo shoot on the water.
Proposals Done Right
Tell us in advance and your captain will slow the boat at just the right moment. We have watched a lot of people say yes out here.
Your Own Pace
Linger by a big gator, ask every question, or fly through the sawgrass. With no other guests to keep up with, the ride runs on your clock.
Intimate 2 or 8 Seats
Pick a nimble 2-seat airboat for a couple's escape or a roomy 8-seat boat for the family — either way, it is booked just for you.
Choose Your Private Airboat
Aces runs a small, versatile fleet, so a private charter can be as intimate or as roomy as you like. For couples chasing a romantic escape, our nimble 2-passenger airboats get you deep into the narrow sawgrass trails for the most up-close, adrenaline-friendly ride we offer — just the two of you and the captain. For families and small groups of friends, the spacious 8-passenger airboats give everyone room to spread out while keeping the whole party together on one private boat.
Not sure which fits? Call and we will help you pick, or explore the whole lineup on our boats page. Traveling with a bigger crew than eight? A private ride can still work — our group airboat tours put you on the 15-passenger boat or coordinate multiple boats so nobody gets left behind. However you ride, just choose the closest of our three South Florida pickup points and leave the rest to us.

“We booked a 2 hour private tour and it was the right amount of time to see everything. Easy meeting spot at a boat landing, our captain was fantastic and put us right on some big gators. Just us and the marsh — so much better than a crowded boat.”
“Did a private sunset ride for our anniversary out of the Parkland landing. Just the two of us, our captain and the wide-open water at golden hour. So personal and so beautiful. We are already planning our next one.”
“You get a private party instead of being with strangers, and our captain is one of the most experienced men in the Everglades. We saw close to 30 alligators plus birds and fish. Worth every penny to have the boat to ourselves.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a private airboat tour?
It means you reserve the entire boat, so it is only your group on the water — no strangers, no shared benches and no set schedule but your own. You choose the time and pace, and your native captain builds the ride around you. Call 561-660-2419 to book one.
How many people fit on a private airboat?
It depends which boat you charter. Our nimble 2-passenger airboats are ideal for couples and the most up-close ride, while our roomy 8-passenger boats suit families and small groups. Traveling with a bigger crew? Our 15-passenger group boat can also be booked privately — just tell us your headcount.
Is a private tour good for a proposal or anniversary?
It is one of the best ways to do it. With the whole boat to yourselves, your captain can slow at the perfect spot as the golden-hour light comes in, so you can propose or celebrate with the wild Everglades as your backdrop and no strangers around. Tell us in advance and we will help set the scene.
Can I choose the time of day for a private tour?
Yes — that is part of the point. Book a quiet, glass-calm sunrise, a bright midday family ride or a romantic golden-hour sunset. Because the boat is yours, we time the launch to whatever suits your group, subject to seasonal daylight and availability.
Where do private airboat tours depart from?
From any of our three South Florida pickup points: Stub Canal in Tamarac, the Sawgrass Expressway at Atlantic Blvd, or The Landing at 15490 Loxahatchee Rd in Parkland. Pick whichever is closest to Fort Lauderdale, Parkland or Boca Raton when you book.
